Stakeholder Feedback Received on Our September 2018 Delivery Pricing Consultation and Discussion Paper Stakeholder feedback received on our September 2018 Delivery pricing consultation and discussion paper Published 23 October 2018 Introduction This document brings together all of the feedback we received on our September 2018 consultation and discussion paper. It is ordered by the name of the party, as follows: Electric Kiwi Flick Genesis Energy Meridian Energy Powershop Further responses were received from Contact Energy and Powershop and marked as confidential, and are not presented here. 9 October 2018 Orion New Zealand Limited By email: [email protected] Dear Bruce Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Orion pricing consultation paper for 2019/20. As we are a residential-based business, our comments are in relation to residential pricing only. Rather than commenting on each specific question, we provide our general views below. As you may be aware, Electric Kiwi provides a free hour of off-peak power to customers each day. This provides a sharp price signal for customers to shift consumption to off-peak periods of the day. This, in part, smooths out some of the network peaks as customers have the incentive to use non- essential electricity at off-peak times (e.g. the dishwasher, washing machine etc). As such, this has positive benefits for the distribution network as a whole. We have seen in practice that, because the customer knows they can save money at a predictable time, customers are keen to actively shift their load. Therefore, if there is a predictable price signal, customers will actively respond. We do not agree that the network-peak based pricing structure is achieving its intended purpose. Although the intention of the current network-peak based pricing regime is to incentivise customers to shift load to off-peak periods by charging an increased rate on actual observed peaks, in reality, the price signal is very difficult to pass directly back to residential customers. Residential customers are usually charged a per kWh rate. So the charge they pay is not directly attributable to their specific contribution to the network peak, especially since the peak charge is charged based on the retailer’s contribution to the network peak assessed on a retrospective basis (effectively due to washups). As the charge is not specific to each customer, nor is the feedback timely, the customer has little personal incentive to change the pattern of their consumption. As the charge is not directly charged on a per kWh basis, retailers are then required to forecast the network peak charge, which may be higher or lower, resulting in customers either being overcharged, or the retailer absorbing the cost. Because of this, we are supportive of TOU based pricing. This strikes the balance between encouraging customers to shift their load to off-peak times, while also being priced in a predictable manner. This allows retailers to package retail price plans in a way where the price signal can be passed onto the end consumer as it is kWh based in nature, while also achieving price differentiation between peak and off peak periods. In addition, this allows customers to be charged directly for their contribution to the network peak, and the feedback is timely because the customer can see what portion of their recent consumption was charged at the more expensive peak rate. As we have seen with the hour of power, if the customer receives a direct price signal, many customers will change their behaviour. As noted in your pricing consultation paper, TOU is not perfect, but it is a vast improvement on the current network-peak pricing structure. PO Box 106165, Auckland 1143, New Zealand NZBN: 9429041132524 | GST: 113618701 Overall, we are supportive of pricing initiatives that incentivise off-peak usage, to smooth out network peaks, leading to reduced costs of infrastructure, and in the long term, lower electricity bills for the end customer. However, the pricing structure needs to be formed in a way where the end-customer can experience a tangible and timely benefit of shifting their consumption. If you would like to discuss further, please contact me. Kind regards Cameron Fraser Financial Controller PO Box 106165, Auckland 1143, New Zealand NZBN: 9429041132524 | GST: 113618701 Orion Pricing and Consultation Feedback required 5pm on Friday 12 October.

Most static TOU plans across other network areas do spread the costs throughout the year, these are understandable and actionable despite there being an element of subsidisation. The Electricity Authority has confirmed that a Flick believes that the key drivers that make daily capacity charge ranging from 70 cents pricing acceptable to customers is that it is per day up to $3 per day for different size easily explainable and that can be connections would comply with the LFC transparently passed through to the regulations.

As we offer Low and Standard User plans with fixed charges (including a portion that has been converted from the peak demand) we will need to rebalance the tariffs to ensure they balance at 9000kWh.

Our aim is to provide our customers with comfort, control, and convenience. This includes managing risk and complexity. Orion has identified some reasons why Static TOU pricing may not be perfect from a Distributor’s perspective, but this needs to be balanced by the complexities and customer appetite for dynamic pricing. We believe that a static TOU pricing methodology provides a balanced solution to the complex problem of cost reflective network pricing which is understood by customers and can be effectively implemented. 1. Please provide views on how existing controlled storage heating loads can be accommodated under a static TOU pricing plan Orion has shown that load management is beneficial in its current format despite, in most cases, the GEN network price signal not being directly passed through to the end user.

    ISBN 978-1-869459-13-0 Statement of Preliminary Issues Mercury NZ Limited / Trustpower Limited’s retail business 17 August 2021 Introduction 1. On 3 August 2021, we registered an application from Mercury NZ Limited (Mercury) seeking clearance to acquire Trustpower Limited’s (Trustpower) retail business (the Proposed Acquisition). 1 2. The Commission will give clearance if it is satisfied that the Proposed Acquisition will not have, or would not be likely to have, the effect of substantially lessening competition in a market in New Zealand. 3. This statement of preliminary issues sets out the issues we currently consider to be important in deciding whether or not to grant clearance. 2 4. As set out in the Framework section below, our assessment of the Proposed Acquisition is limited to the impact of the transaction on competition in New Zealand markets. Except to the extent it is relevant to the Proposed Acquisition, our clearance process does not involve assessment of the competitive workability of the relevant markets in general. 5. We invite interested parties to provide comments on the likely competitive effects of the Proposed Acquisition. We request that parties who wish to make a submission do so by close of business on 31 August 2021 . The parties and the Proposed Acquisition 6. Mercury and Trustpower both generate electricity and sell electricity to a range of customers and are two of the five traditional ‘gentailers’ that operate in New Zealand.3 In addition to electricity, Mercury and Trustpower also supply, to varying degrees, other utility services such as gas and broadband.

  • Genesis Energy Limited (GNE) – Hedge Contract Agreed with Meridian Energy
    MARKET RELEASE Date: 8 July 2014 Release: Immediate Genesis Energy Limited (GNE) – hedge contract agreed with Meridian Energy Genesis Energy has signed a “swaption” electricity hedge contract to provide dry year cover for Meridian Energy for four years from 1 January 2015. The 150MW swaption follows on from the existing 200MW swaption between Genesis Energy and Meridian Energy which expires in October 2014. The new four-year agreement has a provision to terminate after the first two years in the event Meridian’s contract with NZ Aluminium Smelters sees a reduction in volume. The structure of the new agreement allows for 100MW to be available year round, with an additional 50MW available from 1 April to 30 October in each year of the contract. Genesis Energy’s prospective financial information (PFI) was prepared on the assumption that the existing 200MW swaption would not be replaced with a similar instrument. The new agreement is therefore expected to have a positive impact on Genesis Energy’s FY2015 PFI. Genesis Energy’s Chief Executive, Albert Brantley, said the agreement provides a useful independent revenue stream and enables enhanced economic utilisation of its diverse portfolio of hydro and thermal power generation located in both the North and South Islands of New Zealand.
